The Parkland shooting has only increased the need for guns not the sensible other way around.

And maybe it is just a new wave of retroactive abortion.

You see regular abortion is MURDER of the fetus and respecting life is what we are all about. Right?

SURE IT IS.

Having guns in schools will diminish the youth population by just more shootings.

WHY?

It is a simple basic principle of supply and demand.

What good is a gun if you can’t use it? To sit and fondle it? Rub it up and down different body parts will only pacify a gun user just so much. And then, what always happens when you get yourself all worked up …….. RELEASE!

Arming teachers seems to be a solution. At least it is a SOLID stupid idea. Tubularsock can say that much for it.

Why not arm the homeless? Seems reasonable, right? Many homeless have been shot in the street so why not arm them?

Or the grocery clerk, the mail person, the crossing guard BUT NOT the Saloon Keeper. We need one safe place when we drink our whiskey!

In the last few days a teacher in California and a Virginia cop have accidentally discharged firearms inside their schools.

In California a 17 year old boy was hit in the neck by bullet fragments during a gun-safety course! Oops. This accident just happened after a teacher accidentally fired a semi-automatic handgun into the ceiling during a gun safety lesson. (Monterey County Herald)

The teacher also worked as a reserve police officer.

In Alexandria, Virginia a five year veteran of the Alexandria Police Department working as a school resource officer accidentally fired his gun inside his office in a 1,500-student middle school. No one was injured.

And in Michigan a sheriff left his loaded weapon in a bathroom which was found by a student who reported it to his teacher. Hey, shit happens.

So all three incidents in the past week were carried out by highly trained officers. Could that provide a clue to having an entire staff armed and dangerous?

And let us not forget Jesse Davidson, a 53-year-old social studies teacher from Alabama, who barricaded himself inside a classroom at Dalton High School with a gun. He wouldn’t let the students into the classroom and when the Principal attempted to enter with a pass key Davidson fired a random shot out the window. The police arrested him.

Seems that Davidson had some “issues”. A major one, most likely, teaching social studies in high school!

The great thing is that all of this is going on and it is just the tip of the ammunition dump or is that tip of the iceberg, whatever!

You know, Tubularsock has heard from so many of Orange-Tweet’s supporters that “he’s learning the job”, “he’s cleaning the swamp”, “he’s a straight talker”.

And the only thing that these things have in common is he is NOT doing one of these things! NOT ONE!

Let Tubularsock start with the straight talker fantasy.

Talking in clichés IS NOT straight talk, it is simplistic talk about NOTHING.
Yes, it may be familiar to you but it says nothing.

To then interpret it into something meaningful doesn’t show you that TRUMP IS STUPID but just shows that YOU ARE STUPID!

And the humor value alone of Tweet “cleaning the swamp” is utterly destroyed by the people he appointed to his cabinet. Their combined IQ doesn’t reach the level of a dead rat but their ability to make a total mess out of everything they touch is down right impressive.

Tubularsock’s scum respect is at an all time high!

Rex Tillerson, Ben Carson, Betsy DeVos. THE SWAMP GAS-ETTES!

And Tubularsock’s all time top pick of the three statements is “He’s learning the job!”

Oh no he’s not ……. show Tubularsock where there is ANY sign of that!

If anything he is just recycling one set of stupid decisions and responses for a much more regressive set of stupid decisions and responses.

Even President Dumb Shrub read one to two pages of summery of the things he signed.
And Obummer read sometimes up to eight pages.

But Trump gets stumped with anything more that 280 characters.

And all of those characters center around how he views his own character. Nothing like a complete imbecile ranting how “great”, “smart”, “rich” he is while being frustrated that his greatness is not widely understood.

A blind man in the dark can’t see any better with the lights on but this dumb-shit thinks that a standing ovation is some type of praise rather than “seeing” that it is people standing to stampede to the door!

And don’t fear ……… it ain’t going to get any better! Recycled shit is still shit even with an orange comb-over on top of it!

You see what we have here is the crystallization of the UGLY AMERICAN! The pejorative term used for a loud, arrogant, demeaning, thoughtless, ignorant, ethnocentric behavior pattern of American citizens usually abroad.

The epitome of this behavior can be found within the membership of Mar a Largo Golf Club, Trump’s alter ego, though it is difficult to see much of a difference between his asshole behavior “at the club” and his asshole behavior in the Oval Office.

So until Tweet and Pence are flushed, it is probably best when you are out to just say to anyone who asks that you are Canadian.

“Draining The Swamp” ………… Now there is a catchy campaign slogan. It would have to be ranked within the top ten best campaign slogans of all time. Right up there with “Peace In Our Time” and “I Am Not A Crook”!

And the best thing about campaign slogans are NO ONE BELIEVES them but everybody BELIEVES them.

Psychologists have a scientific term for people who “believe but don’t believe” at the same time and that term is

“FUCKED UP”!

It really falls into the category of subliminal messaging. You know it is too good to be really true BUT you WANT IT TO BE TRUE. And then when you find you’ve been “had again” you toss it off as “just a campaign slogan” and go on with your business UNTIL NEXT TIME.

That is just how fucked-up-humans tick and the PR firms that run political campaigns as well as dog food advertising know exactly how to manipulate you ….. AND YOU KNOW IT! So you see we are right back where we started with the psychologist’s scientific term!

Now that Tubularsock has established that YOU are the problem let Tubularsock take a look at the swamp. Contrary to the urban legend, Washington D. C. was not built on a reclaimed swamp, but wetlands did cover areas along the Potomac River. And the Tiber Creek, a natural watercourse, ran through the National Mall until the 1870’s.

So Washington was built on “low ground” or “near swamp” level so the idea of “Draining The Swamp” has had to come from the experience of shaking the hand of the first Senator you have ever met. And exponentially continues from there. Logical, yes?

Well as a result of Trump’s victory, of sorts, he has already lost his way and has gotten right on the escalator to hell but being Trump believes he is going up.

But Tubularsock will give Trump his due ……. Trump has proceeded in putting together THE CABINET OF COMEDY. And this may be the BEST EVER Apprentice-esque Show to date!

“No, really. They are the greatest, they are fantastic, they are the biggest!”

And because of their lack of intelligence in pretty much any expertise he has picked them to do they’ll do what they do best, produce SWAMP GAS! But this will be “the greatest Swamp Gas! No Swamp Gas will be as great as THE CABINET OF COMEDY’S swamp gas!”
